This is such a great recipe that I've probably made dozens of times over the past 30 years. Ever have one of those recipes that the whole neighborhood can smell cooking? It's just that good and good for you, too. No heavy brown gravy and huge chunks of potatoes. And, it is very low cal, coming in at just under 300 calories per serving. Low & slow cooking is the secret here. It's so easy that you can have it in the oven in 10 minutes. Serve with a loaf of warm garlic bread and a dinner salad for a delicious (...and healthy) meal.
